One day, a boy named Henry and his parents learned some bad news: he was diagnosed with cancer. This book tells the story of Henry's extreme bravery in the face of a scary disease. In this book, young Henry moves through a fictionalized story land, where he discovers a strange creature that he thinks will be his new friend. But soon he realizes that his "friend" is actually a Cancerasaurus and is making him feel very sick. To get rid of the Cancerasaurus, he must make the long journey to the Oncology Castle where there is a magical wizard that can help him. Along the way he is met with many obstacles. Each time he wants to give up, he repeats a special saying that gives hope and reminds him that he is not alone: "I am strong. I am tough. I am armed with love. I will fight. I will win.

"Something is wrong with Claire, but she doesn't know what. Nobody does, not even her doctors. All she wants is to return to her happy and athletic teenage self. But her accumulating symptoms--chronic fatigue, pounding headaches, weight gain--hint that there's something not right inside Claire's body. Claire's high school experience becomes filled with MRIs, visits to the Mayo Clinic, and multiple surgeries to remove a brain tumor. But even in her most difficult moments battling chronic illness, Claire manages to find solace in her family, her closest friends, and her art. A deeply personal and visually arresting memoir that draws on the author's high school diaries and drawings, One in a Million is also a sophisticated portrayal of pain, depression, and fear that any teen or adult can relate to. With a sensitive preface and an author's note connecting past to present, this true story of resilience strikes a moving balance between raw honesty in the face of medical and mental trauma and the everyday musings of a teenager."--

Anoreksi er en kamp, som ingen andre end dem, der er ramt, vil kunne forstå. Denne bog er en personlig fortælling, som tager dig med ind i det inderste og skildrer det, der formede en langvarig anoreksi. Om de mange ulige kampe, der blev udkæmpet for at tilfredsstille den. Om de mest forbudte tanker og handlinger, der omgav den. Det er en mors vidnesbyrd til sin søn. Om hendes far, der formede og fravalgte. Om en sygdom, der ødelagde en hel ungdom og næsten et helt liv. Om en facade, der opretholdtes, imens alt stod i flammer. Men bogen fortæller også, hvordan kampen kan vindes, selvom det i de mørkeste stunder virker håbløst. Om de afgørende valg og møder. En fortælling, der tjener til personlig bearbejdelse, men også samfundsoplysning, så andre kan finde inspiration til at søge eller hjælpe deres ramte mod lyset.

Skizofrene tanker handler om, hvordan det er at leve med psykiatriske diagnoser. Bogen fortæller om et langvarigt somatisk forløb, der mundede ud i diagnosen funktionel lidelse. I kølvandet på den diagnose fulgte diagnoserne paranoid skizofreni og asperger, og som følgediagnose til disse angst og depression. Bogen er en barsk fremstilling af livet med psykiatriske diagnoser, og der beskrives en række indlæggelser samt kraftig selvskade og selvmordsforsøg. Nogle af symptomerne ved sygdommene fremhæves, og jeg forsøger så vidt muligt at give et autentisk indblik i, hvordan mit forløb har været fra somatikken og over i psykiatrien. Bogen er også et forsøg på at informere befolkningen om, hvad psykiatriske lidelser kan være samt at være en del af afstigmatiseringen af psykisk sygdom generelt.

Healthy young men went to the hospital complaining of sore throats and fevers. Within hours they had suffocated, their skin taking on a terrible purplish hue.The devastating flu spread like wildfire across the country, infecting soldiers and civilians alike. It killed more than half a million people in a matter of months, then disappeared as suddenly as it had come.To this day, no one knows what caused a common flu to become so deadly, but scientists are still searching for answers.

And always there's the question, What if there's a pandemic today?" -Booklist
